Backing up and restoring the Derby database

Out of the box, IBM® Rational® Quality Manager is configured to run with a Derby database. This topic provides instructions for backing up and restoring the database.
To back up the Derby database:
  1. Stop the Jazz™ Server.
  2. Navigate to the repositoryDB directory and copy it to a secure location.

    The default location of this directory is <Rational Quality Manager _install_path>\server\repositoryDB.

    Note: If you move the database to a new location, you must specify the new location in the com.ibm.team.repository.db.jdbc.location property in the teamserver.properties file, which is installed by default in the same directory as repositoryDB.
  3. Restart the Jazz Server.
  4. To restore the existing database with the version that you backed up:
    1. Stop the Jazz server.
    2. Replace the existing repositoryDB directory with the version that you backed up.
    3. Restart the Jazz server.
